Year-End Stats

So, I thought I'd do a little year-end check-in and general update. I don't know about you--but I went just a teensy bit crazy with challenges this year. No, really. More than usual. More than the number that originally caused me to seek out this support group. I signed up for...and completed 2014 goals for....Shhhhh, is anyone looking?

47 challenges. Yes. That's right. Forty-Seven. How on earth did that happen? No wonder I feel like I didn't sleep at all last year....

I really do need to cut back. Um....what's that? You say you've peeked at my challenge list for 2015? And I already have 34 listed? Surely not. That must be a mistake. A typo--yeah, that's it. A typo!So...let's talk about you. How many challenges did you sign up for in 2014? And did you finish them all? And what's on deck for next year? Speaking of which...Happy New Year, All!

Here is my wrap up post for 2014. I did 37 last eyar and have signed up for almost as many for this year,. Still considering a few others for 2015. Some I did last year aren't being offered and some I'm doing this year are new to me.

I've done some change-ups from last year too. A few I just can't (the Outdo Myself one--no way I'll be able to read more books next year) or I don't have the books for...and I'm trying very hard to stick with my own TBR stacks.

I'm foregoing the ones focused on "authors new to you" and those focused on book size, number of pages and such this year. In fact, I saw that the "In the Middle" and "Quick Fix" ones aren't being offered. I also saw that the Postal Challenge, the Book to Movie, and Reading Outside the Box won't be happening again either. Still to see if Historical Fiction, Dystopian, and Poetry will be on again. The Romance Reading blog is now defunct, And apparently the blog that hosted Lucky 14 won't be doing any challenges this year. Don't know about Harlem Renaissance either, but I didn't find a lot for that one and will likely not do it again.

I signed up for 27 challenges in 2014, set a goal to finish 14 of them, actually finished 25 of them. One is the Goodreads Monopoly Challenge that isn't tied to 2014, so I really finished all but one - Read It Again, Sam. I finished one of the 4 on that list, and am actively re-reading 2 more...just added them to the 2015 list. So far I've signed up for 21 challenges in 2015, will sign up for Historical Fiction as well as soon as it is posted. Set a goal to finish 15 challenges in 2015.
